yourself down and trying to figure out exactly why anyone should be
interested in reading your take on the universe at large.
However, here I am, improbably enough, and I've already made the big play for humility below so am pretty much permanently schnookered in that direction. (See, kids, this is why an addiction to self-pity is so dangerous. I mean, as long as Apple's still in business there will always be a need to weasel another iPod upgrade out of Mom and/or Dad, y'know? Learn to pace yourselves.)
...Ahem. So anyway, I'll just add that there will be very, very few solutions to world angst proffered or pondered from here on in.
